I wish I could recommend places much further south than Port St Johns, because the mingling of warm and cold ocean streams produce some interesting sea life … the only place I've seen Paper Nautilus. Or any Nautilus for that.
Port St Johns for the Sardine Run. Book ahead. Expensive.
Aliwal Shoal for Sharks ! Umkomaas. Both Tigerzzz and Grey nurse. Some great wrecks too..
Durban. Wrecks and Blood reef.
Sodwana Bay. Probably SA's best approximation of tropical reefs. My first Whale sharks.
Kosi Bay
Mozambique
Ponta d'Ouro
Tofo, Inhambane
Vilanculos / Bazaruto
Those would be my warm water highlights
